[unkindled_madness]

No, I don't.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki tugs on sephiroth's collar. ]

Those are fighting words. I'll have to take that as a challenge.

[unkindled_madness]

If you insist.

[Sephiroth is not conceding defeat. His standards are high and Loki has met them.]

[dothelokimotion]

Mm. Just you wait.

[ with his fingers still around sephiroth's collar, loki pulls him into a kiss. ]

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth makes a noise into the kiss, because for the first time in a while he wasn't expecting it. But he soon softens into it.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ see, he can still be surprising. and it was fun to banter, to challenge. really, he's been so lucky. so lucky to find sephiroth. or maybe finally, he has earned this. worth this.

he breaks the kiss after a few quiet minutes, still leaning close, noses brushing. ]

[unkindled_madness]

I take it you enjoy a challenge.

[Sephiroth doesn't pull back, although kissing for several minutes in public has drawn them some attention, even with the audience mostly focused on the stage.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ he chuckles softly. ]

I do. And I've found the right partner for it.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth smiles.]

I enjoy that, too.

[dothelokimotion]

Good.

Come, we have somewhere to be.

[unkindled_madness]

Oh?

Lead on.

[dothelokimotion]

[ holding his hand, loki takes him away from the town to a cliff nearby. not the same one odin was on (that's been cordoned off from the public as a heritage site of sorts) but close enough to see new asgard and the coast. almost as if loki is accommodating the wilderness and the town. in balance.

the path is barely there but once they arrive, flowers seemingly come into bloom. the same flowers sephiroth had given him on their anniversary. ]

Here we are.

[unkindled_madness]

[It's a nice view, private without feeling closed off. And flowers may not be among Sephiroth's favorite things, but he certainly recognizes these as they unfurl. He blinks around them in surprise.]

These are... You remembered.

[dothelokimotion]

Of course I did.

How could I not?

[unkindled_madness]

I suppose they were significant.

[The first and only time he's given someone flowers.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki chuckles. ]

Of course they were.

[ he faces sephiroth, clasping their hands together. ]

Big or small, what you do is significant.

[unkindled_madness]

[His expression eases some.]

...I'm glad when it's memorable.

[dothelokimotion]

It was memorable.

But more than that, it made me realize something. I keep chasing after things that don't want me. I had to be the one to choose.

[unkindled_madness]

...but I do want you.

[dothelokimotion]

You do. That's why I realized chasing after a future that is long gone or anything else.

[ like thor. like asgard. like the other lokis, in a fashion. ]

Which is why I am committing. To you.

[unkindled_madness]

...when we first left the islands... I thought that you would have chosen all of that over me, if you had had the opportunity.

It always troubled me that you would go back to something that kept disappointing you. I didn't... want that for you.

[dothelokimotion]

[ oh. sephiroth really gave him so much consideration. ]

I am choosing you. Now and forever.

[unkindled_madness]

[He holds Loki's gaze, steadily.]

I'm glad. Because I'll do the same.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki smiles before his fingers flick and a ring appears on his palm. a simple one with a silver band and a star emerald at its center. ]

This is my token. I know rings don't mean much to you, but it does to me. I'd like you to wear this.

[unkindled_madness]

[Oh.

Ohhhh.]

This one will mean something.
